Ford has announced a sportier variant of the Fiesta supermini for the UK market. Called the S1600 it is inspired by the previous Fiesta Zetec S and is offered with two engine options from both ends of the fuel spectrum.
The petrol unit is a 120 PS 1.6 litre Ti-VCT Duratec while the diesel front is made up by a 95 PS 1.6 litre Duratorq TDCi. These engines can be tuned up further via Mountune, Ford’s performance tuning partner although the press release did not mention anything about potential power figures.
The Fiesta S1600 can be treated to either Frozen White with blue stripes or Performance Blue with white stripes. There is a body kit that includes a unique front bumper with flared lower valence panel, extended side skirts, large rear spoiler and a rear diffuser. The petrol model features 17 inch alloys while the diesel unit gets 16 inch wheels.
Inside you will find heated sports seats with side airbags, leather steering wheel, and hand brake cover and gear knob along with Motorsport-branded floor mats and scuff plates.
As stated in the title the S1600 will be based on a limited production run where only 650 units will be made available. Each is priced at £16,665 OTR. More images can be found after the jump.

Not realy that expensive, compare with other imported cars…
thats the car price without the tax! haaa it will normally cost u double…
anyway,,when is the fiesta coming to malaysia..paultan,,is there any new mpv’s coming in fords line up to compete with innova or livina..
Ford will be bringing in the S-MAX but its definitely priced out of the Innova/Livina range.
Paul,
Any news of them bringing the diesel tdci Smax?…will be more practical due to its high low rpm torque & low FC
someone will definitely bring it here!if they are smart enough
Hideous rims…
nice! i still prefer the titanium trim tho..
a source of inspiration
Yeah, I’m not too fond of those rims. Metallic ones would probably look better.
A detailed Fiesta review when it hits local shores would be nice. *coughhintcough*
so cheap!
it’s not cheap actually but too bad, you were made to say it’s cheap…
this is like satria neo cps for the british market…!
PLEASE DON’T BRING ANY PROTON ELEMENT HERE… We want peacefull and enjoy and excite about this Ford…
I second you 100%. No sh1t in this thread please.
2-door superminis rocks!!!why wun they bring any here??i mean the B-segment 2-doors supermini like Polo or this Fiesta??
Sometimes American/European is better than Japanese/Korean cars. But in Malaysia.. The Japanese propaganda “Asian For The Asian” still bloom in their heart conscious or not. Japanese car are more reliable cos their spare part more easily to fine, and a lot of service centre. How reliable, durability and how sweet design of American/European cars..Malaysian still prefer to Japanese cars no matter how ugly the car is.. Just looked at all new Honda Freed… i’m believe there are still sell well no matter how ugly and freak the price is. How many of us is dare to get the all new fiesta soon?
Just my 2 cent.
Honda freed might be urgly but it’s compromised by its practicality.
Uhhh… or it could be that Jap cars are just techically cheaper to buy.
And not to mention, ppl are simply brand concious. Try look at the 2nd hand prices of some Honda cars and how the price still holds up. Same goes to certain Toyota models.
Seen one in the show room already today.
Sigh! Limited edition only for UK market, none for Malaysia/ Singapore…
Hmm…I wonder why they chose to name it using the same technical term for J-WRC cars when its a road car…
SWEEEEET!!!
White rims…hmmmm. Anyway, good car.
Surely it nice, but it reminds me the design of Punto HGT.
hi paul, when the fiesta comes to malaysia, can you do a review like what jeremy clarkson did. haha, that will be cool
hahahaaa….totally agreed! its a nice car….1.6l, 6 speed!!!! for a compact car, horsepower is 120!!
booked one already!
tested (not driven) fiesta at the curve & head down to Ford HQ. interior I can say Mazda 2 is more cheeky. But on the 2nd taught, 6 speed auto dual clutch.
Woo hoo! Gotta spend RM 900+ per month for this baby- Who cares!
no laa….its only rm830++ per month only laaa
Like drive through KLCC shopping centre chased by a Lambo or Ferrari…..and then an amphibious assault with the naval force in Port Dickson… hahaha…..Now that would be interesting……
Perhaps you can add some local elements to it – driving through Chow Kit or Petaling Street and then end up at a stall having teh tarik and roti canai… :)
looking forward for the fiesta launch
nice car.
very nice car…
Ford shud consider to bring in 3 doors fiesta, looks far better than 5 doors
wow…nice car
